Patent EP-1047736-A1 (EP)
Inventor: EMERY PETER ROBIN
IPC: C09C1/24
Filed: 1999-09-08
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the preparation of pigment granules that are readily dispersible, robust, and have a reduced liability to dusting, preferably without the use of substantial quantities of binder, if any at all. The method comprises mixing at least one pigment selected from the group consisting of iron oxides, chromium oxides, cobalt blues, mixed metal oxides, carbon blacks and titanium oxides, with water to form a mixture having a dough-like consistency. The mixture is then extruded through at least one die to form extruded granules, thereby also compacting the mixture, which increases the strength of the granules. The extruded granules are then dried so that the final water content of the granules is less than substantially 5 %.

Filed: 1999-02-17
Abstract: Methods and devices for detecting a watermark in a watermarked video stream, the watermark having been scaled by an unknown scale among a predetermined finite number of scales and shifted by an unknown number of pixels. For each of the predetermined number of scales, the video stream is divided into a plurality of equally sized scaled watermark blocks; and the plurality of scaled watermark blocks are read into a plurality of read blocks. Each of the read blocks are accumulated into one of a predetermined number of read block bins. The accumulated read blocks are then re-scaled and combined into a single video accumulated block. A predetermined quantity, such as the power of a DCT, is then evaluated within the video accumulated block. This evaluation yields information relative to presence of the watermark in the video stream, the scale applied to the watermarked video and the shift of the watermark, if any, within the watermark blocks. A fractional remainder operation is used to determine the number of read block bins for each scale under consideration as well as to determine the bin into which each read block is to be accumulated.

Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol and related compounds are provided that inhibit the freezing of water and water solutions. These synthetic compounds preferentially bind and inhibit ice nucleating surfaces in a manner similar to natural antifreeze proteins. The resulting inhibition allows water and water solutions to supercool without ice formation to temperatures below the thermodynamic freezing point. The freezing inhibition occurs at concentrations as small as one part per million, although concentrations up to one part per hundred are preferred. These polyvinyl alcohol additives are very useful for enhancing the performance of antifreeze formulations, biological cryopreservation solutions, and for preventing frost damage to plants and other industrial products and processes.
